Do you know the cable car at Pão de Açúcar?

The Sugar Loaf Cable Car is one of the main attractions for those visiting Rio de Janeiro – and not for less:

from there, the view of the city is a must see, and includes the Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay and the beaches.

Anyway, everything that gives Rio the title of wonderful city.

Built in 1912, the “Bondinho” is named because, at the time it was inaugurated, the cable car had the same face as the tram that circulated through the city streets.

Especially today, the Sugar Loaf Cable Car is a modern tourist complex and one of the advantages of this is that the attraction ticket can be bought online, which avoids queues and optimizes the day out.

However, It is not enough to ascend to Cristo Redentor.

The Sugar Loaf is your complementary sight.

In addition to enjoying Guanabara Bay from the opposite angle (and with Christ himself in the background), you still have practically an aerial view of Copacabana.

The Sugar Loaf is closer than the Cristo of the South Zone hotels, and the climb by the cable car is almost worth the trip.

By the way, the name ‘cable car’ is a perpetual misconception in the form of a nickname.

Technically, it’s a cable car (a cable-supported air transport). However, as the first cars of the cable car, which opened in 1912, resembled the city’s streetcars, the name ‘cable car’ got its name.

The original cable cars were active until 1972, when they were replaced by a second generation, already with glazed cars.

Above all, in 2008 the third generation of lifts came into operation, now with tinted glass and ventilation system (no, no air conditioning yet).

In addition, there are two twin mountains: the Morro da Urca and the Sugar Loaf itself.

The route to the top is made in two stages: the first, from Praia Vermelha to Morro da Urca; the second, from Morro da Urca to Sugar Loaf.
